Fractional Chief of Staff
In the ever-shifting landscape for nonprofits and higher education, the Chief Executive Officer needs a strong and strategic Chief of Staff to ensure success. We have the expertise to manage shifts in priorities and transitions among executive staff—safeguarding, collecting, collating, and communicating essential information to keep projects moving. Our fractional services are offered on short-term renewable subscriptions to help the CEO’s and Board’s priorities maintain momentum and visibility while guarding the time and energy no organization can afford to lose.
Board and Stakeholder Relations
From triaging incoming stakeholder communications to fulfilling board-related commitments, we provide key insights and services to make the relationship between the board and the Chief Executive Officer seamless and productive. We help coordinate and maintain communication with senior staff to keep projects and priorities on track, preserving the CEO’s valuable time.
Transition Management
When key members of the executive team change or new partners are hired, organizations lose precious time, information, and momentum while going through the onboarding process. As a neutral third party, we gather information and resources to make your new executive or partner successful from day one. We map and preserve the elusive “institutional memory” to ensure the day-to-day alignment and imminent success of the team.
Strategic Partnership
We bring our expertise in strategic planning to facilitate “strategic doing,” breaking the high-level goals and tasks outlined in strategic planning into manageable efforts. We provide regular strategic updates for CEOs and boards and build systems for accountability into the strategy roadmap. As a thought partner to the CEO, we help triage and alleviate issues with implementation and mitigate risk.
